    microlens is a tiny van Laarhoven lenses library, mostly just copying definitions from lens and trying to avoid dependencies as much as possible. It has gained some popularity (742 package downloads in the last 30 days, vs the 1724 of the original lens).

    Cool, looks good. I've used u/edwardkmett's streams package, but I would certainly consider moving to something more complete, maintained and with a smaller dependency footprint. Plus, it defines head, which streams lacks for some reason.

    FWIW, there are quite a few libraries on Hackage implementing the infinite Stream type. When I looked in to this last year, u/edwardkmett's streams was the only one that seemed to be maintained.
